يَشُوع 1

١ 1 وَكَانَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ مُوسَى عَبْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ كَلَّمَ يَشُوعَ بْنَ نُونٍ خَادِمَ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

Now it happened after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' servant, saying,

٢ 2 «مُوسَى عَبْدِي قَدْ مَاتَ. فَٱلْآنَ قُمْ ٱعْبُرْ هَذَا ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ أَنْتَ وَكُلُّ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا مُعْطِيهَا لَهُمْ أَيْ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you, and all this people, to the land which I give to them, even to the children of Israel.

٣ 3 كُلَّ مَوْضِعٍ تَدُوسُهُ بُطُونُ أَقْدَامِكُمْ لَكُمْ أَعْطَيْتُهُ، كَمَا كَلَّمْتُ مُوسَى.

I have given you every place that the sole of your foot will tread on, as I told Moses.

٤ 4 مِنَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَلُبْنَانَ هَذَا إِلَى ٱلنَّهْرِ ٱلْكَبِيرِ نَهْرِ ٱلْفُرَاتِ، جَمِيعِ أَرْضِ ٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ، وَإِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلْكَبِيرِ نَحْوَ مَغْرِبِ ٱلشَّمْسِ يَكُونُ تُخْمُكُمْ.

From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even to the great river, the river Perath, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border.

٥ 5 لَا يَقِفُ إِنْسَانٌ فِي وَجْهِكَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِكَ. كَمَا كُنْتُ مَعَ مُوسَى أَكُونُ مَعَكَ. لَا أُهْمِلُكَ وَلَا أَتْرُكُكَ.

No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not fail you nor forsake you.

٦ 6 تَشَدَّدْ وَتَشَجَّعْ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تَقْسِمُ لِهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفْتُ لِآبَائِهِمْ أَنْ أُعْطِيَهُمْ.

Be strong and of good courage; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.

٧ 7 إِنَّمَا كُنْ مُتَشَدِّدًا، وَتَشَجَّعْ جِدًّا لِكَيْ تَتَحَفَّظَ لِلْعَمَلِ حَسَبَ كُلِّ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَكَ بِهَا مُوسَى عَبْدِي. لَا تَمِلْ عَنْهَا يَمِينًا وَلَا شِمَالًا لِكَيْ تُفْلِحَ حَيْثُمَا تَذْهَبُ.

Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.

٨ 8 لَا يَبْرَحْ سِفْرُ هَذِهِ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ مِنْ فَمِكَ، بَلْ تَلْهَجُ فِيهِ نَهَارًا وَلَيْلًا، لِكَيْ تَتَحَفَّظَ لِلْعَمَلِ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِيهِ. لِأَنَّكَ حِينَئِذٍ تُصْلِحُ طَرِيقَكَ وَحِينَئِذٍ تُفْلِحُ.

This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

٩ 9 أَمَا أَمَرْتُكَ؟ تَشَدَّدْ وَتَشَجَّعْ! لَا تَرْهَبْ وَلَا تَرْتَعِبْ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ مَعَكَ حَيْثُمَا تَذْهَبُ».

Haven't I commanded you? Be strong and of good courage. Do not be afraid, neither be dismayed: for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.

١٠ 10 فَأَمَرَ يَشُوعُ عُرَفَاءَ ٱلشَّعْبِ قَائِلًا:

Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,

١١ 11 «جُوزُوا فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ وَأْمُرُوا ٱلشَّعْبَ قَائِلِينَ: هَيِّئُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ زَادًا، لِأَنَّكُمْ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ تَعْبُرُونَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ هَذَا لِكَيْ تَدْخُلُوا فَتَمْتَلِكُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لِتَمْتَلِكُوهَا».

"Pass through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, 'Prepare food; for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God gives you to possess it.'"

١٢ 12 ثُمَّ كَلَّمَ يَشُوعُ ٱلرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ وَٱلْجَادِيِّينَ وَنِصْفَ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى قَائِلًا:

Joshua spoke to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, saying,

١٣ 13 «ٱذْكُرُوا ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلَّذِي أَمَرَكُمْ بِهِ مُوسَى عَبْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ قَدْ أَرَاحَكُمْ وَأَعْطَاكُمْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ.

"Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, 'The LORD your God gives you rest, and will give you this land.

١٤ 14 نِسَاؤُكُمْ وَأَطْفَالُكُمْ وَمَوَاشِيكُمْ تَلْبَثُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاكُمْ مُوسَى فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْبُرُونَ مُتَجَهِّزِينَ أَمَامَ إِخْوَتِكُمْ، كُلُّ ٱلْأَبْطَالِ ذَوِي ٱلْبَأْسِ، وَتُعِينُونَهُمْ

Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock, shall live in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan; but you shall pass over before your brothers armed, all the mighty men of valor, and shall help them

١٥ 15 حَتَّى يُرِيحَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِخْوَتَكُمْ مِثْلَكُمْ، وَيَمْتَلِكُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيهِمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ. ثُمَّ تَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى أَرْضِ مِيرَاثِكُمْ وَتَمْتَلِكُونَهَا، ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاكُمْ مُوسَى عَبْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ نَحْوَ شُرُوقِ ٱلشَّمْسِ».

until the LORD has given your brothers rest, as he has given you, and they have also possessed the land which the LORD your God gives them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.'"

١٦ 16 فَأَجَابُوا يَشُوعَ قَائِلِينَ: «كُلَّ مَا أَمَرْتَنَا بِهِ نَعْمَلُهُ، وَحَيْثُمَا تُرْسِلْنَا نَذْهَبْ.

They answered Joshua, saying, "All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.

١٧ 17 حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا سَمِعْنَا لِمُوسَى نَسْمَعُ لَكَ. إِنَّمَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ يَكُونُ مَعَكَ كَمَا كَانَ مَعَ مُوسَى.

Just as we listened to Moses in all things, so will we listen to you. Only may the LORD your God be with you, as he was with Moses.

١٨ 18 كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ يَعْصَى قَوْلَكَ وَلَا يَسْمَعُ كَلَامَكَ فِي كُلِّ مَا تَأْمُرُهُ بِهِ يُقْتَلُ. إِنَّمَا كُنْ مُتَشَدِّدًا وَتَشَجَّعْ».

Whoever rebels against your commandment, and doesn't listen to your words in all that you command him, he shall be put to death. Only be strong and of good courage."
